I really like Kabaddi. Obviously it would need to gain much more international appeal and participation in order to justify a position on the program. It’s a relatively cheap sport at base level, since there’s not really any specialty equipment needed. It’s quite different from most of the other team sports on the program. A good mix of speed, agility, strategy, and technique is needed to win. Plus, I personally find it highly enjoyable to watch.

In terms of adding something totally new/different to the Olympics: definitely kabaddi or sepaktakraw. Sadly that would be complete nonsense in terms of competing nations.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
